Advice to Senior Management

I would provide advice to management through an Internet site, I'm using open internal communication path to provide feedback and suggestions.

Pros

I would have to say that the only benefit is work/life balance. They are very good at giving time off for personal reasons and generous with teleworking opportunities.

Cons

Where to start??? Despite transparency being one of the "key" behavioural elements that the execs are supposed ot display, they are only transparent with things that show well for the company. I have been there for over 10 yrs and someone they just hired off of the street for the same job I do on teh same team I am on is being paid almost 10% more than I am. HR policies & procedures are brutal and brutally implemented. I could keep going but will stop now. :-)

Advice to Senior Management

I cannot deny that the leadership is doing the right thing for the shareholders. Internally changes and direction are often sold as the right thing for customers but many of us see it differently. My advice is that if you are going to claim that transparency if a key behaviour then live up to it.

Pros

Discounts as an employee
Benefits

Management
Lack of vision and leadership
Lack of opportunities
